Sherlock HolmesJohn Watson Inspector Gregory Silas BrownSherlock came from the last name shear lock and it originally meant someone with closely cut hair, fair hair, or bright hair.I do not think this name fits him for a 1st name because we never really get to know about his hair or his appearance. Holmes can be taken from the name of someone who lived in a holy tree or "holly; islands in the river". It also comes from the place Holmes near Dundonald. I don't think the name fits him because he is not a very holy person. John comes from the Greek name Ioannes and the Hebrew name Yochanan which means gracious.

I do not think that this name fits him beacuse he is more of a occasional side partner in Holmes's work and he is not really the main person in the stories. Charley GrahamGregory comes from the Latin name Gregorius which means watchful,
